that our country should be In eed as well

should aucced and'ndt falti.. It. was a herolo
struggle; and, aa Is Inevitable with all such
struggles, It had sln a: dura 'and terrible
aide. Very much was done of good, and
much i1h of evil; and, aa was Inevitable In
such a period of revolution, often the tame
man did both good and evil. For our great
good fortune ai a nation, we, the people of
the United States aa a whole can now af
ford to forget the evil, or at least to re
member It without bitterness, and to fix our
yea with pride on the good that wa ac
complished. Even In ordinary times there
are very few of ua who do not see the prob
lems of life ai through a glass, darkly;
and when the glass Is clouded by the murk
et furious popular passion the vision of the
best and the bravest Is" dimmed. Looking
back, we are all of ua now., able to do Jus

and the love of the right, a to each It was

In that contest which waa finally decided
by the attitude of the west., We can admire
the herolo valor. - the slftcertty. the self
devotion shown alfke by'the'men who wwe

and our sadness that such men should have
to fight one another is tempered by the
glad knowledge that ever thereafter their

for the uplift of their common country,

Lessons from Brons ss4 Lincoln.
I do not speak ofthis -struggle of the
past merely from tlii. biatp'ry standpoint.
Our Interest Is primarily la. the application
today of the lessons taught by the. contest
ef half a century ago. It is of llttluse for
us to pay Hp loyalty,, to the mighty men
of the past unless we ylncereiy endeavor to
apply to the problefjvff the.reent pre
cisely the aualltl1iw'hW1uv -Wjejcjlpes
enabled the men ft that flys u) meet these
crises. It Is hsJf "meliwifhoTy ' snd half
amusing to see yK,"wy; in , Which :well
meanlng people gather io:'flo honor to the
men who. In company, with 4fihn Brown,
and under the lead fbl Abraham Lincoln,
faced and solved' Uliegret problems of the
nineteenth century ,wh tie T at, th same time
these same good ipii pie!- nervously shrink
from or frantically deWuncV those who are
trying) to meet t(Ut problems of ' the, twen
tieth Iti "the spirt whteH- was 'accountable
for the successful solution of the problems
f Lincoln's time.
Of that generation of men, to whom we
we so much, the man to whom we owe the
most Is, of course, Lincoln. Part of our
debt to him Is because he forecast our pres
ent struggle and saw the way out. He said:
"I hold that while man exists It Is his
duty to Improve not only his own condition
but to assist In ameliorating mankind." And
again, "Labor. Is prior to and Independent
of capital; capital H only the fruit p( labor,
and could never have existed but for labor.
Labor IS the superior of capital and de
aervea much the' hlaher consideration.
Capital has Its rights which pre as worthy
of protection aa any other rights. " '
Nor should, this lead to a war upon the
owners of property. Property is. the fruit
f labor; property Is desirable; is a positive
good In the world. Let no him who Is
houseless pull down the house, of another,
but let him work 'diligently and build one
for himself, thus by example showing that
his own shall be safe from violence when
built." It seems to me that la these words
Lincoln took substantially the attitude that
we ought to take; he showed the proper
sense of protection in his .relative estl
nates of capital at d labor, of -human rights
and property rlgnts. Above.-, all, In this
speech, as In maty others, he 'taught a les.
aon In Wise kindliness and charity; an India
penslble lesson to us of today. 4But this
wise kindliness aid charity never weakened
his arm or numbed his heart. We cannot
afford weakly i to blind ourselves to the
actual conflict which faces us today. The
Issue Is Jollied, and we must fight or fall.
la every wise struggle for human better
ment one of that main objects, and often
the only object 1 haa been iu achieve in
larger measure equality of opportunity. In
the struggle for tills great end, nations rise
from barbar lim o civilisation, and through
It peoples press forward from one stage of
enlightenment tfl. the next. One of their
chief factors In grogress la the destruction
of special privilege. The essence of any
struggle tor! healthy liberty lias always
been and must always be to take from some
one man or olansiot men the right to enjoy
power, or wealth; or position, or Impunity,
which has not bocn earned by service to hie
or their fellows.

commonwealth will get from every cltlxen
the highest service of which he Is capable.'
No man who carries the burden of special
privileges of another, can give to the com
monwealth that service to which It is
fairly entitled.
I stand for the square deal. But when
I say that I -am for the square deal !
mean not merely that I stand for fair play
under the present rules of the game, but
that I stand for having those rules changed
so aa to work for a more substantial equal
ity of opportunity, and of reward for
equally good service.
This means that our governments, na
tional and state, must be freed from the
sinister Influence or control of special
Interests. Exactly as the special Interests
of cotton and slavery threatened our
political Integrity before the Civil; war,
so now the great special business Interests
too. often control and corrupt the men and
mothods of government for their own
profit. We must drive the special Interests
out of politics. That Is one of our tasks
today. ' Every special' Interest Is entitled
to Justice full, fair, and. complete but not
one la entitled to a vote In congress, a voice
on the bench, or to representation In any
public office. The constitution guarantees
protection to property, and we must make
that promlso good. But it does not give
the right of suffrage to any corporation.
Property Must Be the Servant.
The true friend of property, the true
conservative, is he who insists that prop
erty shall be the servant and not the
master of the commonwealth; who Insliits
that the creature of man's making shall
be the servant and not the master of the
man who made It The citizens of the
United States must effectively control the
mighty commercial forces which they have
themselves called Into being.
There can be no effective control of cor
porations while their political activity re
mains. To put an end to It will be. neither
short nor an easy task, but It. can be
done. . - '
We must have complete and effective
publicity of corporate affairs, so' that the
people may know beyond . peradventure
whether this corporations obey the law and
.wiwrtrttlr. their: mahaementi.' erUltWi thifm
to the confidence of the puliM.N It w neoea
sary tba laws should be passed Jo pro
hibit the use of corporate funds directly
or Indirectly for political purposes; it .11
still more necessary, that such: laws should
be thoroughly enforced- Corporate expendi
tures for political purposes, and especially
such expenditures - by. public service, cor
porations, have supplied one of the princi
pal sources of corruption in our political
affairs.
It has become entirely, clear' that - we
must have government supervision of the
capitalization not only of public service
corporations. Including particularly rail
ways, but of all corporations doing an
inter-state business. I do not wish to see
the nation forced Into ownership of the
railways if It can pbsslbly be avoided, and
the only alternative Is thorough-going and
effective regulation, which shall be based
on a full knowledge of all the facts. In
cludin? a 'physical valuation of the prop
erty. This physical valuation Is not needed,
or at least Is very rarely needed, for fixing
rates; but It Is needed, aa the basis of
honest capitalisation.
Limitation of Franchises.
We have come to recognise that fran
chises should never be granted except for
limited time, and never without proper
provision for compensation to the public.
It is my personkl belief that the same kind
and degree of control and supervision which
should be exercised over public service
corporations should be extended also to
combinations which control necessaries of
lite, such as meat, oil and coal, or which
deal In them on an important scale.
I believe that the officers, and . especially
the directors, of corporations should be
held personally responsible when any cor
poration breaks the law.
Combinations In Industry are the result
of an Imperative economlo law which can
not ba repealed by political legislation. The
effort at prohibiting all combination has
substantially failed. The way out lies not
In Attempting to prevent such combina
tions, but in completely controlling them
In the Interest of the publio welfare. For
that purpose the Federal Bureau of Cor
porations Is an agency of the first Im
portance.. Its power and therefore its ef
flclency, as well aa that of the Interstate
Commerce commission, should be largely
Increased. We have a right to expect from
the Bureau of Corporations and from the
Interstate Commerce Commission a very
high grade of publio service. We should be
as sure of the proper conduct of Interstate
railways and the proper maaagement of
Interstate business as we are now sure of
the conduot and management of the ha.
tlonal banks.
The Hepburn act. and the amend
ment to. that act In the shape In which It
finally passed congress at Uie last session.
represent a long step In advance; and we
must go yet further.,
There Is a widespread belief among out
people that, under the methods of making
tariffs which have hitherto, obtained, the
special Interests are too Influential. Prob
ably this Is true or both the big Interests
and the little interests. These methods
have put a premium on selfishness, and
naturally the selfish big Interests hare
gotten more than the selfish small In
tereats. The duty of congress la to provide
a method by which the, interest - of the
whole people shall be all that receives
consideration To this end there must be
an expert tariff commission. whoUy re
moved from the possibility ef to! it leal pre
sure or of Improper business Influence.
Much a commission can find out the real
difference between cost of production
which H mainly the difference of labor
post her and abroad. As fast as its reioni
oiendatlons are made, I believe In revlsln
one schedule at a time. A general revlsio
of the tariff almost Inevitably leads to
log-rolling, and the subordination et the
general public Interest to local and special I
Interests
Advocates Ineome Ta,
'Ths absence of effecive state, and e
peclally national restraint upon unfair
money getting has tended to create a small
class of enormously wealthy and econom
ically powerful men, whose chief object
Is to hold and Increase their power. The
prime need is to change the conditions
which .enable these men to accumulate
power, which It Is not tor the general
welfare that they should hold or exercise.
W grudge no man a fortune which rep
resents his own power and sagacity, when
exercised with entire regard to the welfare
of his fellows. But the fortune must be
honorably obtained and well used. It Is
not even enough that It should have been
gained without doing damage to the com
munity. W should permit it to be gained
only so long aa the gaining represents
benefit to the community. This. I know,
Implies a policy of a far more active gov
ernmental Interference with social and
economlo conditions In this country than
we have yet had, but I think w have got
to fac the fact that such an Increase In
governmental control Is now necessary.
No man should receive a dollar unless
that dollar has been fairly earned. Every
dollar received should represent a dollar'
worth of service rendered. The really big
fortune, the swollen fortune, by the mer
fact of its slse, acquires qualities which
differentiate it In kind as well ss In degree
from what Is possessed by men of rela
tively small means. Therefore, I believe
In a graduated Income tax on big fortunes,
and In another tax which Is far more easily
collected and far more effective a grad
uated Inheritance tax - on big fortunes,
properly safeguarded against evasion, and
Increasing rapidly In amount with the slse
of the estate.
Financial Reform Needed.
The people of the United States suffer
from periodical financial panics to a degree
substantially unknown among the other
nations which approach ua In financial
strength. There Is no resson we should
suffer what they escape. It Is of profound
importance that Our financial system should
be promptly Investigated, and so thoroughly
and effectively revised as to make It certain
that hereafter our currency will no longer
fall at critical times to meet our needs.
It is hardly neoessary for me to repeat
that I believe In an efficient army and a
navy large enough to secure for us abroad
that respect which Is the surest guarantee
of peace. Justice and fair dealing among
nations rest on principles Identical with
those which eontrol Justice and fair dealing
among the Individuals of which nations are
composed; with the vital exception that
each nation must do its own part In inter
national police work. National friendships,
like those between men, must be founded
on respect as well as on liking, on forbear
snce as well as upon trust. In all this it Is
peculiarly the duty of the United States to
set a good example.
Of conservation I shall speak more at
length elsewhere. Conservation means de
velopment as much as It does protection.
I recognize the right and th duty of this
generation to develop and use the natural
resources of our land, but I do not recognize
the right to waste them, or to rob, by
wasteful use, the . generations that come
after us. The natural resources must be
used for the benefit of all our people and
not monopolized for the benefit of the few.
That la one of the fundamental reasons
why the special Interests must be driven
out of politics. Of all the questions which
can come before this nation, short of the
actual preservation of its existence in a
great war, there Is none which compares In
Importance with the great central tank of
leaving this land even a better land tor
our -descendants than It Is for us, and train
ing themMnto t-bettcf race to Inhabit tne
land and pass It on." Conservation Is a great
moral Issue, for It Involves tb saiety ana
continuance Of th nation. Let me aaa
that the health and vitality of our peopl
are at least as weir worth conserving ss
their forests; waters, lands and minerals,
and that In this great work the national
government must bear a most important
Part- . ..
I have snoken elsewhere also of tne greai
b whlnh ilea before the farmers of the
country to get for themselves and for their
wives and children not only tne Deneius
of better farming, but also those of better
business methods and better conditions of
life on the farm. The burden of this great
task will fall, as It should, mainly upon
the great organisations of the farmers
themselves. I am glad It will, lor i oeiieve
they are well able to handle it. In par
ticular, there ar strong reasons why the
Departments of Arglculture of the various
states, the United States Department of
Agriculture, and the agricultural colleges
and experiment stations shouia extena
their work to cover all phases of life on the
farm. Instead of limiting themselves, as
they have far too often limited themselves
in the past, solely to the question 6f the
production of crops.
Reaction Follows Excess.
Nothing Is more true than that excess
of every kind is followed by reaction, a
fact whldh should be pondered by reiormr
and reactionary alike. W ar fac to fac
with new conceptions of the relations of
property to human welfar chiefly because
certain advocates of th rights of property
as against. the rights of men have been
pushing their claims too far. The man wno
wrongly holds that every human right Is
secondary to his profit must now give way
to the advocate of human welfare, who
rlahtlv maintains that every man holds his
DroDerty subject to the general ngnt oi
the community to regulate Its use to wnn
ever degre th publio welfar may require
it. But I think w may go still further.
The right to regulat th us of weafth In
the public Interest la universally admittea
Let us admit also th right to regulate the
terms and conditions of labor, which Is the
chief element of wealth, directly In the
Interest of the common good. Th funds
mental thing to do for every man is to
give him th chanc to reach a place In
which he will make the greatest possible
contribution to the public welfar. No
man can be a good citizen unless he haa
a wage more man sumcieni ia v..
bar cost of living, and hour of labor short
enough so that after his day's work Is done
he will have time and energy to bear his
share in the management of the community
to help In carrying the general load. We
keep countless men from being good citi
zens by th conditions or lite witn wnicn
we surround them. We need comprehen
sive workmen's compensation acts, both
state and national laws to regulate child
labor and th work of women, and espe
cially ws need 4n our common schools not
merely education in book-learning, but also
practical training for dally life and work.
W need to enforce better sanitary condi
tlons for our workers, and to extend tbe
use -of safety appliances In Industry and
commerce both within and between the
states. Also, friends. In th Interest of the
worklngman himself we need to set our
faces llks flint against mob violence Just
aa against corporate greed; against violence
and Justice and lawlessness by wagework-
ers Just as much ss sgalnst lawless cun
nlna and greed and selfish arrogance of
mployers.
N
Nentrnl Ken for Lsw Breakers.
National efficiency has many factors.
It Is a necessary result of the principle of
conservation widely applied. Ia th end
Itrwlll determine our failure or success as
a na-tiou. National efficiency has. to do not
only with, natural resource and with men
It Is equally concerned with Institutions.
The state must be made efficient fur the
work which concerns only the people of the
state, and the nation for that which con
cerns sll the people. Ther must remain
no neutral ground to serve as a refuge for
lawbreakers, and especially for lawbreakers
of great wealth, who can hire the vulpine
legal cunning which will teach them how
to avoid both Jurisdictions. It Is a mis
fortune when the national legislature falls
to do Its duty In providing a national
remedy, so that the only national activity
Is the purely negative activity of the Ju
diciary In forbidding th state to exercise
power In the premises.
A New nationalism.
I do not ssk for over-centralisation, but
I do ask that we work In a spirit of broad
and far-reaching nationalism when w
work for what concerns- oir people as a
whole. We are all Americans. Our com
mon Interests ar as broad as the conti
nent. I speak to you' her. In Kansas ex
actly as I would apeak? in New York or
Georgia, for the most vital problems are
those which affect, us all alike. The na
tional government belongs to th whole
American people ' and x where th whole
American people are Interested, that Inter
est can be guarded effectively only by the
national government. Th betterment which
w seek must be accomplished, I believe,
mainly through the national government
The American people ar right In demand
ing that new nationalism without which
we cannot hope to deal with new problems.
The new nationalism puts the national
need before sectional or personal advantage.
It Is Impatient of the utter confusion that
results from . local legislatures attempting
to treat national Issue as local Issues. It
Is still more impatient bf the Importance
which springs from the over-division of
government powera tbe impotence which
make It possible for local selfishness or
for legal cunning, hired by wealthy special
Interests, to bring national activities to a
deadlock. This new " nationalism regards
th executive power aa th steward of the
publio welfare. It demands of. the Judiciary
that it shall be Interested primarily In hu
man welfare rather than In property. Just
aa It demands that the representative body
shall represent all the people, rather than
any ons class or section of the people.
I believe In shaping the ends of govern
ment to protect property as well aa human
welfare. Normally, and In th long run,
the ends are the same, but whenever th
alternative must be faced I am for men
and not for property I am far from under
estimating the importance of dividends, but
I rank dividends below human character.
I know well that the reformers must not
bring upon the people economic--ruin, or
the reforms themselves will go down In the
ruin. But we must be ready to face tem
porary disaster, whether or not' brought on
by those who will war against us to the
knife. Those who oppos all reform will do
well to remember that ruin In Its worst
form Is Inevitable If our national life brings
us nothing better than swollen fortunes
for the few and the triumph In both politics
and business of a sordid an self ish . mater
ialism. More Direct Action Needed.
If OUr political Institutions were nerfert.
they would absolutely prevent the political
domination of money In anv oa.it of our
affairs. We need to rriake our political
representatives more quickly and 'sensitively
rponsive to the people whose servants
they are. More direct action by the people

wnicn tne trsin passed, were at th stations
waiting In th dark to see him. He arrived
at Bcott City Just as it waa growing dark,
and found th whols town out to meet him.
in men aaa campaign torches In their
hands and th flickering light illuminated
the face which were turned up to great the
traveler. The colonel talked to the people
(or a few minutes sbout good citlsensblp.
At many of tbe smaller towns, no stops
war made, but th people wer ther wait
Ing and. as th special train wblssed by,
gave a wild shout, ' which never failed to
bring a smile to the face of Colonel Roose
velt, and a wave'of the hand to his friends
outside In the rain and the darkness.
When Colonel Roosevelt appeared on the
rear platform of his private car here, in
company with Governor Btubbs, who had
Joined tha party at Osage City, there was
a chorus of shouts from the large as.
semblage of men and women, who had
long stood In ths rain to meet him.
Senator Brlstow and Representative
Msdison wer near the colonel, who was
eviaentiy pleased with his cordial recep
tion and waved bis hand and smiled. ,
Governor Stubbs Introduced ths colonel
as th "greatest, man, not only in Kansas
and the United States, but In' ths world
today."
"I not only have a peculiar association
with Kansas." began Colonel Roosevelt
"it waa tha Kansas delegation .that first
definitely overcome my reluctance to be
vice president and therefore ultimately g.t
me to b made president. I am so glad
to be back with you, to bx back here In
th west, to be back In th United Stat.
I have had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.
I enjoyed Africa mor than the lions did.
Now I am back her to Join with you to
try to work for whatever Is for the bene
fit of our country.
"It Is Just the same now as It waa with
you men of the civil war. In those dark
days from 1061 to 186S. The crisis Is not
as great as It Wks then, but there Is a
real crisis. Our effort Is to secure a bet
ter and more even chanc for the average

to the msn of wealth,' or to tha great cor

not do any Injustice to the little man."

Is to' be held for the guests, who are to
have plates at the luncheon. The function
Is to be of the western flavor, "Just good

American citizen,' to use his own words.
Following the Field club luncheon the
colonel will be given an hour or two of
rest If he wants It before the Auditorium
meeting, at 4 o'clock. Mere he will make
his on nd only speech In Omaha, barring
few passing remarks, perhaps, at other
times. It IS expected Roosevelt will speak
n hour or mor on his set subject, "The
Panama Canal." That he will have a
great audience Is assured, for the general
publio will be admitted to the building an
hour before the time set for the - address.
In the evening a formal dinner Is on the I
card, at the Omaha club, with a limited
party In attendance, and fiom tile tables
the visitors and hosts will be rushed In j
utomoblles to the Den, where a special
appearance of the pug-nosed comet with
th pondlferous tall Is scheduled. Several
rehearsals of the particular gyrations
the famous celestial attraction Is to go
through on this occasion have been held
by the performers, and those who have
seen the rehearsals assert with confidence
that Ak-Sar-Ben will 'have a crackerjack
advertiser on th road after Roosevelt has
enjoyed th sights and sounds of . the
royal court of Qulvera.
It will thus be seen that th committee
headed by Mr. Rosewster haa a stiff job

of all the "dolnge,"
As Roosevelt day draws near, with th
announcement that only paid members will
be admitted to the Initiation Friday night
the membership roll Is making a rapid
Jump. Nearly forty new members have
sent In their names within the last three
days, bringing the grand total up to 1.490.
A special rehearsal of the show will be
held at the den Thursday nighty The
whole show will be staged snd all the new
stuff Bob Manley has Invented will be
given a try-out. From what has been
whispered about, the circus Friday night
will make those that have gone before
look like a bunch of kids playing In a
barn.
Other details, such as the time of the
ceremony, the trip out to the den and the
names of those who are to do the hon
ors, are still In the hands of the board of
governors. No speeches have been ar
ranged for and will probably not be ar
ranged for until a conference 1 held with
